Whole 30 Taco Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Yields: 4-6 servings | Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

4 sweet potatoes, cut lengthwise

1 lb ground beef (grass-fed if possible)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 Tablespoon Chili Powder

1 teaspoon ground Cumin

½ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon salt

Additional salt and pepper to taste

Toppings:

Fresh lettuce, shredded

Avocado, chopped

Tomatoes, chopped

Salsa

Cilantro

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the sweet potatoes (cut lengthwise) face down on a baking sheet. Brush the backs with olive oil and sprinkle on salt and pepper. Place in the oven for 30 minutes.

While potatoes are cooking, place ground beef in a large skillet and cook on medium high heat, until browned. Add in spices and diced red pepper. Cook until bell pepper softens (3-4 minutes). Add a few tablespoons of water if needed to keep the meat from drying out.

To serve – use a fork to flatten the inside of the roasted potato slightly. Add desired amount of ground beef mixture and top with fresh lettuce, chopped tomatoes, avocado, salsa and cilantro.

What a great idea! Believe it or not, I used to hate sweet potatoes. Well, at least I hated how they tasted when they were loaded with brown sugar and marshmallows at Thanksgiving. I wouldn’t make the dish, and wouldn’t eat it when others made it. I discovered relatively recently, though, that I love them – as fries, cubed and roasted, and cooked with other foods. Just about any way – except the traditional Thanksgiving recipe. I’ll definitely have to give this a try!
